Page actions

In tiki, each PHP script that can be invoked through the browser has a corresponding .TPL (Smarty) file. These files can often become quite long and complex. In some cases, a same TPL file will be used to carry out operations which are quite different and require quite different visual elements.

For example, consider the case of tiki-editpage.tpl. This is used for:

Editing the content of an existing page

Editing the content of a new page

Asking the user for the language of a page that he wants to create

Update a page in one language, based on changes that have been made in another language

Instead of having one big monolithic TPL file, it can make sense to split it into smaller chunks.

Where each of the three TPL file has the Smarty code for one of the specific dialogs.

Note that these dialogs themselves can include TPL files. For example, the tiki-editpage-update_translation.tpl and tiki-editpage-edit_existing.tpl dialogs may need to use a common TPL, because both need a widget for editing the content of a an existing page. So, they themselves may include a common template, call it tiki-editpage-page_editor.tpl.

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
